“Winnipeg VegFest aims to foster compassion for animals, promote eco-friendly living, educate the public about health and nutrition, and introduce the rapidly growing world of plant-based cuisine,” shared Dr Jason Hannan, Co-chair Winnipeg VegFest, and UWinnipeg Associate Professor, Rhetoric & Communication. “Every major city in North American has an annual VegFest event. Winnipeg has now been added to that list, and it’s happening at the University of Winnipeg.”

Last year’s inaugural festival had 3,000 visitors, and this year the expectation is its popularity will grow.

Winnipeg VegFest is a volunteer-run event and is currently looking for compassionate volunteers. They have several volunteer positions available. You can apply at Winnipeg VegFest Volunteers.
